@vamptember ‘s Queens of the Damned, Day 3: Bloodbath

You know how in Carmilla, vampires spend most of the day unconscious in a coffin filled with blood, like the undead version of a spa day? Yeah. Pandora deserves a little treat now and then.

whats your favorite non-VC media (book, movie, game, whatever) and why?

-mothmage

Oooh that's a good question! There are a lot of non-VC things I love but it's hard to pick a favorite.

Jurassic Park and Ghostbusters are probably the other pieces of media that I imprinted on at a young age and really shaped who I am as a person (which is to say, I would love a job in the Talamasca and I would absolutely visit a dinosaur park if one opened, regardless of the risks.)

The only book series I've ever been half as feral about as the VC is Newflesh by Mira Grant, which is a series set 20 years after a zombie outbreak but like... the world didn't end, it adapted, and yet zombies are still a threat and it's about a plucky group of journalists, one of whom goes a little mad for a chunk of the series so... I have a type, is what I'm saying.

Thank you so much for the ask!

She should’ve expected this- it would’ve been more surprising for the place to be wheelchair accessible. Still, is it too much to ask to be able to get into her hotel room easily while she’s on the run from a vampire?

He would stand before the rendition of The Fall of the Rebel Angels as though he were hypnotized, craning his neck back to take in the whole piece. It was done in frightening detail. The lurid colors of the apocalyptic creatures contrasted so hideously with the stark white gowns of the sword-wielding angels, worsened by the dancing light of the fire that seemed to give motion to the battle. It brought Denis to terrified and delighted shivers.

A little late, but here's my contribution to @vcmicroficmay Week 2: Melancholy

Like Real People Do

“If you’ve found a gray hair, lover, it’s because you don’t take care of yourself.” Daniel looked down at the hair, silver between his fingers, that had been like an unpleasant wake-up call to reality. “It’s because I’m old, Armand. I’m getting so old.” Behind him, Armand scoffed. “Daniel, you’re twenty-seven. Don’t be ridiculous.”

Or: Armand takes Daniel out boating to cure his grey-hair-induced melancholy, and gets them into a bit more trouble than he'd planned.

VC Friday Fic Recs

We made it through another week and the first two months of the year. I think we should celebrate! And what better way than snuggling under a blanket and reading some fic?

Here some fics I've read recently that I think you should check out:

⚔️ Love You to Death by @mothmage

Armand/Daniel

It's Armand and Daniel at a Renaissance Faire, what more do you even need? They wear costumes! It's also funny and heartfelt as Daniel and Armand both try to navigate the complexities of their strange relationship. Highly enjoyed this!

🌃 See You Later by @leslutdepointedulac

Armand/Louis

I don't know that I've seen a lot of fic that deals with Louis leaving Trinity Gate in the PL trilogy so I was thrilled to see this one. Despite Armand's anxiety about the change, he and Louis are so sweet together here and it's a very lovely fic that made my heart so happy!

🎻 Handspun Strings by @aunteat

Armand/Nicolas

This is a heartbreaking glimpse at Armand doing his damnedest to help Nicolas as best he can, with his characteristic dichotomy of tenderness and cruelty. He has so much love for both Nicolas and Lestat here, and this is a great exploration of their relationship during this very fraught time. Really love this one!

🛋️ A Deluge of Memories by @cinnamonclove

Armand/Daniel

In this cozy post-canon story, Armand and Daniel cuddle together during a thunderstorm and share stories about vampire legends and monsters. Bonus points for a Bigfoot reference. This is the soft Armand and Daniel reunion content I adore and I loved this fic!

Happy Friday! Happy March!

HIIIIII !!!!! i’ve sort of taken a break from dollblr lately because all but 1 of my dolls are tucked away in a storage box with really no potential to come out of the box anytime soon 😞 but in the meantime, i’ve been going through Dollie Withdrawal….so i found dolls small enough to have in my tiny new space! these are my first ball jointed dolls, and they’re SO tiny (11.5-12.5cm!!!!). pictures and face-paint progress below!

so this is what they looked like fresh out of the package. theyre from artpractic on etsy, and i think they’re 3D printed. all of their tiny little joints bend and move just like a larger BJD, it’s so cool!! they’re also the only “adult” size dolls i’ve ever had i think, except for Barbies. i purchased them planning to make 2 of the main characters from the Faeries of Dreamdark series (if anyone is familiar with those — 2 middle grade/young adult fairy fantasy books that came out in the mid 2000s). the characters are actually younger, sort of generically young teenagers (although faeries age slower, so theyre both over 100 years old). these are the wings i was thinking about, based on the character’s’ descriptions

first i dyed the male doll with Rit to match the character (who’s from what’s basically faerie India), which worked ok. it isnt too patchy, and he’ll be wearing long pants and sleeves sooner or later, so that will hide the parts that didnt take the dye too well. i used watercolor pencils to give them both some body blushing and basic coloring, then went in with acrylic paint and the tiniest little brush i could find for the details. i think it’s not too bad for my first full face paint, especially not on faces the size of my pinky nail!! i also used acrylic paint for body details like scars — the characters are a warrior and a guardian, so they have their fair share of scars and injuries throughout the book. i also gave the male doll top surgery scars, because the character has always read as trans to me

i can’t quite decide which wings for one of them, though. for context, this character Hirik Mothmage has big moth wings that are described as black and ruby hawkmoth wings. personally, i always imagined him with silk moth wings, no idea why. either way, these are my two options: neither are hawkmoth wings, so it’s just based on what looks better. he’ll have brownish-black hair and also big brown moth antennae above his eyebrows, if that gives a fuller picture

the other character is Whisper Silksinger. she’s a scamperer, not able to fly, which is why her wings are so much smaller

this has been so fun though, and it’s really scratching my Dollie itch. i’ve always stayed away from itty bitty dolls like this, because i’m clumsy and not very dextrous and tend to fumble around blindly with anything smaller than a Barbie doll, but it’s been a fun challenge! now i have to figure out hair and then clothing. not sure if trying to make a wig will be easier, or if i should just glue the hair right onto their heads, lol

Tagged by @mothmage to share the last line I wrote on a WIP. Thank you!

I'm going to cheat and give you a whole paragraph. 👀

Daniel has found a drawing of himself and wonders if it was Armand who drew it...

Armand didn’t stop rooting around in Daniel’s wardrobe. “No. A burglar came in while you were asleep. He saw you and – overcome by your beauty – decided to draw your likeness instead of alleviating you of all your earthly possessions. Your ‘looks’ have made him see the error of his ways. He has taken himself to a monastery where he will spend the rest of his days illuminating manuscripts with your face. This shirt is atrocious.” He threw the offending article of clothing over his shoulder.

No pressure tags for @akinmablog, @bandedbulbussnarfblat, @saintrayne and anyone else who wants to do this.
